  • In the relief of severe pain, usually in emergency situations, by inhalation with 50% oxygen
  • In short-term procedures which inevitably involve pain, such as wound and burn dressing, wound debridement, and suturing
  • In dental work to provide short-term analgesia for tooth extraction and other brief procedures, administered with 50% oxygen
  • Occasionally as an insufflating agent in laparoscopy
  • In cryosurgery as a refrigerant
